will be responsible for instruction in the appropriate teaching environment and evaluates
will be responsible for instruction in the appropriate teaching environment and evaluate
is responsible for instruction in the appropriate teaching environment and evaluate
is being responsible for instruction in the appropriate teaching environment and for evaluating
is responsible for instructions in the appropriate teaching environment and will be evaluating
X will BE RESPONSIBLE FOR...and (will) EVALUATE student learning.

A - evaluateS
C/D/E - all changes meaning from FUTURE (as indicated by use of WILL) to PRESENT (IS)
More issues in C - IS ...AND EVALUATE (not parallel)
E - IS RESPONSIBLE (ie NOW)...WILL BE (in FUTURE). How can we say one action of INSTRUCTION IN present and other in future

Note sentence talks about THE SUCCESSFUL INSTRUCTOR (ie WHO WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN FUTURE)

IMO B

If we use EVALUATES then the meaning changes to "SUCCESSFUL instructor WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INSTRUCTION in...AND SUCCESSFUL instructor IS EVALUATING STUDENT LEARNING as a matter of practice. In other words, use of EVALUATES changes the meaning from WHAT INSTRUCTOR WILL DO IN FUTURE TO WHAT THEY GENERALLY DO (simple present). Thats not correct.

We require WILL BE RESPONSBILE...and WILL EVALUATE..(2nd WILL is not required as its infered from 1st)
